Exotic hadron naming convention

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2023-03-27 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

Many new exotic hadrons, that do not fit into the existing naming scheme for hadrons, have been discovered over the past few years. A new scheme is set out, extending the existing protocol, in order to provide a consistent naming convention for these newly discovered states, and other new hadrons that may be discovered in future.
